Anti-clickbait title: the US federal regulation limiting cell phone battery capacity.
If you want to skip the click through: 20Wh maximum
Thanks for this. Another important bit:
5,000mAh × 3.88V ÷ 1,000 ≈ 19.4Wh
If you read the article or regulation, you'll note that there are some ways to get around this by dividing the battery into cells.
Also, that is a fucking hilarious "phone."
